A child leading the elder in prayer
Question:

What is the ruling of the child leading the one who is mature/of age in prayer?
Answer:

It is correct, that the leading of the child for the one who is mature/of age is correct in the obligatory prayer as well as the optional, and it is a narration which has come from (Imaam) Ahmad – many of the companions (of the madhab) chose this (opinion).
